Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine scanning offers clear, detailed images that help our heart specialists at BVHS accurately identify the presence and precise location of cardiovascular conditions. This advanced testing is crucial for diagnosing heart disease and detecting cancerous tumors.
A safe, radioactive substance is injected into your bloodstream during the procedure. The scanner then captures the emissions from this substance, while the CT scanner creates detailed images of your body to locate any areas affected by disease. By providing insight into the severity of the condition, nuclear medicine scanning enables our specialists to develop a tailored treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
